Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

In just half an hour, more than a thousand people had failed their challenges. Naturally, once their challenge opportunities were exhausted, they were teleported out of the Sequence Member-Ranking Battle.

Even then, Lin Haifeng’s plan had yet to be initiated—the initial stages were too chaotic. He planned to proceed once the situation stabilized a little, as it wouldn’t be too late then.

Abruptly, a voice rang out from above.

”Do you think Lin Haifeng’s plan might work?”

Sitting at the highest point of the entire skill competition arena, Tang Haofei asked Wen Yu from his commanding position.

Wen Yu shook his head.

”I’m not sure. By the way, how many people do you think could break into the top ten of the Sequence?”

Tang Haofei carefully observed the constantly flickering white light below, then slowly shook his head.

”Not many. Their skills aren’t good enough. Those who are truly capable are either being kept hidden by the military, or they don’t care about the title of a Sequence member, or they’re satisfied with obtaining a Sequence title somewhere in the double digits.”

Wen Yu nodded.

Ultimately, there would always be some professionists ’unconcerned with fame and fortune,’ or ’lucky enough to have never needed to enter a large-scale treasure land,’ or those ’with special goals who didn’t want to become Sequence members.’

”Will they pose any threat to your plan?”

”I don’t know.”

Tang Haofei decisively shook his head and added, ”Don’t say ’your plan’; you should say ’our plan.’ If this succeeds, the benefits will be unimaginable!”

Wen Yu was momentarily silent.

...

Wen Yu had guessed Lin Haifeng’s ultimate goal the previous night.

Earlier that day, after receiving the message from Yang Hong, Wen Yu felt more confident in his assessment and had paid a visit to Tang Haofei.

Tang Haofei, it turned out, couldn’t keep a secret...

With just a couple of probing questions from Wen Yu, Tang Haofei had spilled the beans.

By then, everything was crystal clear in Wen Yu’s eyes.

Indeed, if Lin Haifeng’s plan succeeded, it would bring great benefits to Wen Yu.

Lin Haifeng was definitely someone to be wary of. He always had intricate plans, and one could never discern his true endgame. A person like that was too devious! Having been deceived once, Wen Yu was not going to risk being fooled a second time.

...

While Wen Yu was meditating, the chaos of the initial free-for-all below gradually subsided.

Almost an hour later, with fewer than five thousand professionists remaining outside, Lin Haifeng, who had been waiting by the skill competition arena, finally initiated his plan.

”Go! Remember your order!”

As Lin Haifeng gave the order, hundreds of military professionists immediately pinned intricately patterned badges to their chests and proceeded to challenge in sequence.

Amid frequent flashes of white light, ten military professionists directly replaced the bottom ten Sequence members. Eight of these were already military personnel, and the remaining two were swiftly ousted by two powerful military experts.

Then, these new Sequence members, according to the plan, launched challenges against those ranked ahead of them!

In a short time, the entire Sequence spectator stand was enveloped in flashing white light, which spread rapidly towards the top twenty positions!

...

Everything happened so quickly and suddenly that by the time Wen Yu fully registered it, more than sixty of the bottom eighty Sequence members wore identical badges, and the number was still rising...

It’s starting, Wen Yu sighed softly, his expression instantly becoming serious.

Lin Haifeng had made his move; now it all depended on whether ’a certain someone’ would take the bait!

...

”Continue.”

Seeing that eight of the positions from Sequence Number 11 to Sequence Number 20 had been filled by his arranged personnel, Lin Haifeng knew his plan was reaching its climax.

Two beams of white light flashed nearby, and Wen Yu immediately turned his head to look.

Sequence Number 18, a newly promoted Sequence member, directly challenged Sequence Number 10!

As the white light flickered, the figures of Sequence Number 10 and Sequence Number 18 appeared on a platform below.

This time, the flow of time hadn’t quickened. Moreover, the Sequence members positioned higher up could observe the battle on the platform.

The next second, Sequence Number 10 gently raised his right hand and calmly said, ”I admit defeat.”
